Representation for workers and others injured on New York construction sites.
Construction sites carry serious risks, from falls and scaffolding collapses to crane, equipment, and falling-object injuries. When a job site accident changes your life, Shim Law Group, P.C. pursues the full compensation you are owed. These cases can involve more than a workers' compensation claim, and understanding your options matters.
New York provides strong protections for construction workers, including specific Labor Law provisions that can hold owners and contractors responsible for certain height-related and safety violations. We evaluate every possible source of recovery, which may include a claim beyond workers' compensation.
We investigate the site conditions and safety practices, preserve evidence, and identify each party that may be responsible. We also coordinate any workers' compensation benefits alongside a potential injury claim, so you pursue everything available to you.
Our personal injury attorneys are ready to review your case and answer your questions. Contact us today at (718) 878-1177 or fill out our online form for free.
